I must confess, I cheated today.</p> <p>I had lunch at Sonny’s BBQ with a good friend. It was about 630 calories for a few fries, smoked turkey, coleslaw ( not good for you! ), and a Diet Coke. Then for dinner I had sushi. 3 rolls and a salad. Not really sure on the calories but I can bet I went over my limit for today. And to top it all off - a dessert of a white chocolate milk shake from Steak & Shake.</p> <p>Well that’s all for now. It’s back to controlling what I eat. Going to hop on it. I can only imagine what my weigh in is going to be tomorrow…</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/getgaryfit/~4/RtogA-L-zgA" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/getgaryfit/~3/RtogA-L-zgA/425726310http://getgaryfit.com/post/425726310Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:00:00 -0500newshttp://getgaryfit.com/post/425726310<p>Starting weight: 159<br/>Ending weight: 151.5</p> <p>Overall I lost 7.5 lbs in February.
